I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of Pokhara's key attractions, accompanied by a very friendly driver, Ujwal.
Given that it was all so interesting and worth exploring, it turned out that the time at the end was not sufficient for all items on the list, which was fine with me. In case others are facing time constraints as well, I suggest focusing on the Gupteswar Gupha cave, the World Peace Pagoda, the Bindhya Basini Temple - and in case you are interested in understanding more about what you are seeing, make sure to read a little bit of background info upfront or while you are there. The guides offering themselves are not very helpful in terms of substance. In addition, the International Mountain Museum certainly required a lot of time and attention!! It is a must-see, preferably before you head out into the Himalayan Mountain scenery, or after.
